Deputy Mayor for Business meetings (1)

Susan Hall: Please list the number of meetings held by the Deputy Mayor for Business and London borough leaders (including which boroughs) since lockdown began in March 2020, the subject of those meetings, and the outcomes of those meetings.

The Mayor: Since the start of the pandemic my Deputy Mayor for Business has been working closely with borough leaders and representatives of London Councils via several forums including the Strategic Coordination Group, its Business and Economic Impacts subgroup and the London Enterprise Action Panel Board, the latter two of which he chairs and co-chairs respectively.
Outcomes from these meetings include shaping our business support asks of Government, gaining an understanding of how best we can support businesses through the London Business Hub, and establishing a High Street Coordination Group to help the safe reopening of London businesses.
My Deputy Mayor for Business also recently held an introductory meeting with Cllr Danny Thorpe, London Councils’ Executive member for Business, Europe and Good Growth, and Leader of the Royal Borough of Greenwich on 17 November.
